For the next few hours, Sam maintained the same lead as he created after realizing the use of glass boulders.

He kicked the boulders at Gran whenever she tried to throw the knives at him or whenever she tried to reduce the distance. He managed to keep that steady distance without any changes. But he knew that he couldn't go on like this. Because the glass boulders reduced in numbers and the rocky boulders took their original dominating spot and even they are not as dense as before.

On this way, Sam noticed the effects of this meteor shower on the land and the environment. He noticed that there is even an undead glass boulder that turned some beasts into undead and in fact it is so potent that it managed to create some undead trees which are extremely rare.

So rare that even in the realm of undead he only managed to see a few.

All this while they ran through a partial forest route and partial open route, but Sam could see an open plain in horizon. A few hundred meters away.

He ran towards the plain without a stop and he even didn't care about kicking the glass boulders at Gran.

Gran who is following him closely made a flip and kicked a basket ball sized boulder towards him. But Sam already saw it and easily dodged. But the attack from Gran continued, but Sam didn't have any glass boulder left. So, he also decided to reply in kind.

As soon as he stepped foot on the plain field, he made a flip in the air and kicked on a rock. But instead the rock flying over like a ball, his leg got stuck in it.

Sam couldn't see what help on to him, but it almost felt like something bit on his leg tightly.

He started dropping down along with the rocky boulder.

Sam became a bit vigilant and tried to pull his leg, but it didn't come out. He used the second leg and the void style to kick on the rock continously, and right before he crashed into the ground, he managed to get rid of that biting grip.

When the dust settled, what he saw in front of him shocked him. He turned around and looked. From a bunch of boulders, rock golems are emerging with different elemental energies surrounding it.

The one in front of Sam has lightning elemental energy inside it and when it punched Sam, he could feel the lightning striking him as he blocked.

His whole arm felt numb.

And the rest of the golems within the range also started coming towards Sam as they attacked.

Sam felt a bit frustrated. He fell into her trap once again. She timed it perfectly.

And the worst part is, when he saw Gran, she just smoothly crossed over and left. The golems didn't even bother with her as she dodged them perfectly.

Sam realized how stupid he has been. If he was a bit later or even a bit calmer and didn't kick the boulder, there is a great chance that the golems wouldn't bother about him too and this belief only reinforced when the golems far away from started fighting each other when there is no other living thing within a certain range.

They don't have any intelligence and they barely had any sentience. They have only desire to fight and when a crearture or moving object comes within a certain range of their senses, they fight. And once they are engaged if a second object comes, they ignore.

If no object comes at all, they just roam aimlessly.

This caused Sam to curse under his own breath and since all the golems already surrounded him, he saw no other way.

He took out his staff and used a combination of ripple style and Void style. This is something he came up with when he was reseaching the metal poles that uses three styles and crush the structures.

In this combined style of ripple style and void style, the spiritual energy will travel in ripples across the object he hit and when the ripples reached their maximum range, they are explode according to void style.

Sam smashed the staff on the leg of the golem coming towards him and the energy worked according to the combination which crumbled the whole limb joint.

The golem crashed to the ground and Sam smashed another hand making it impossible to get up. He doesn't need to completely destroy them as long as they don't come to fight him.

He moved fast and swift as he hit each golem, but he realized that there is no end to this as many golems kept on surrounding him.

He used a full strength and spun the staff to land as many hits as he can and finished a bunch of golems in a single strike before gather time for a breath. He looked at Gran who is moving forward and the lead is increasing. He couldn't bear it anymore and put the energy conservation at side before deciding to cross the field first.

His body changed from shadow elemental fusion to the light elemental fusion. His whole body turned into a golden mass light and soon it turned into a green mass of light.

He decided to use the laser fusion which he didn't use for a while.

His whole body turned into a laser beam as he kicked the ground and shot forward.

The laser beam made some holes in the bodies of golems and then swiftly passed through half the field in the blink of an eye. Sam landed on the ground and rolled over as he panted before turned to shadow elemental fusion and dodging the upcoming golems.

He is only a few dozen meters away from Gran and when she saw his feat, she almost tripped and fell.

But that is not the end of it, they are still within the plain field and there are no surroundings that could help them dodge that effectively, even Gran is struggling a bit. Of course not as much as Sam.

So, Sam decided to even the field a little and a shadow soldier suddenly appeared under Gran and caught a hold of her foot which made her trip and fall literally.

Sam took this advantage and changed to earth elemental fusion and when he was about to pass her, he used an earth elemental technique that made the ground move and trap her inside without almost half of her body stuck underground.

Then he turned back to shadow elemental fusion and moved forward.

Gran who was stuck was also detected by the golems nearby. She broke apart from the binding and tried her best to dodge the golems and escape. Luckily she was not surrounded by Sam otherwise, she would be having even more trouble.

As Sam increased the lead between then, he saw a forest a few hundred meters away and when he saw Gran following him, he doesn't know if it is another trap or if it is okay for him to go inside.

He halted for a seocnd and looked around in the sky to see if there are any new boulders coming down.

When he noticed that there is no sight of new boulders, he took a deep breath and went inside the forest.

What he didn't notice is the smile on Gran's face and if he saw he would have understood what it was as soon as he entered the forest.

With all the meteor strikes and other things, Sam forgot factor something else inside the forest. The beasts.

And even the normal beasts are not the main problem and in normal times it wouldn't even be an issue. But currently due to the meteor situation, the beasts seemed to have gathered together and formed a group to save themselves and they are currently fighting the golems.

But before golems, the wave of glass boulders seemed to have did its job perfectly and it resulted in some of the undead beasts.

While the beasts are fighting with most of the undead beasts and golems new beast dead bodies are being formed as they fell within the undead zones created by undead glass boulders.

And these are the real problem. As soon as Sam entered the forest, they sensed his presence and undead are running towards him. If it is normal time, he wouldn't care and would have taken a detour or just dodged and left. But the whole forest is full of golems and beasts, if he caught their attention, he would be in trouble.

The undead beasts like living creatures and some undead creatures that are figthing only the golems, turned their attention to him and are charging. He didn't expect their senses to be this strong and noticed that these undead are somehow strage.

But he didn't dwell on it and thought of a plan to escape.

If he took a detour, Gran might cross him away.

So, he did something else. He activated his vampire bloodline. Since it is compatible with dark elemental energy, it went along with the shadow fusion and all of a sudden the undead creatures that are charging towards him suddenly grew confused.

The undead creatures don't have any feelings and thoughts, they live on instincts and these instincts strictly prohibit them from attacking one of their own and particularly an undead of superior nature like a vampire wouldn't even be touched.

So, Sam got a free pass away from the undead creatures and even used them to escape easily.

On his way out of the forest, he created undead creatures out of the deadbodies of the beasts and left them there for Gran as a gift.
